Dustin1300 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Did not pull the trigger this year. Wondering how well it will be attended, they still have all tickets available for sale and usually are all sold out 6+ months ahead. San Diego next year, I'll go to that one:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooked Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Love San Diego, that would be a good trip to plan to spend some extra time. Hadn't heard about the ticket sales. Hotel sold out and they added second option - don't know if that's typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin1300 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Hotel has sold out in the past four that I've been to. As for products, you need to check out the mindstream: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/859739753/mindstream-aquarium-monitor I've been contemplating being a backer with 12 month subscription on the discs. Revolutionary product if it's successful for our hobby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roush2000 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Yeah me too. That would be amazing. Too bad all the 495 donor spots are all taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin1300 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 If I do it it'll be the $1000 pledge because that includes the first year's disc. If you don't get those now they might be hard to come by at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to the possible availability issues you mention, there's also a potential pricing issue, which would make the $1,000 a bargain.

They say the unit is $700-900 plus $50/disc at first until they can bring that price down. That being said it'd be $1300-$1500 that you are getting for the $1k. I'm still on the fence, if they had Phosphate and Nitrate it'd be a no brainer for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke33 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Yea, I've been following the thread and pledge from the beginning. It doesn't seem like they are going to bring in another 200k in the next week so does that mean its a bust and everyone gets there money back? I'd like to go to MACNA, not this year though. So when you are at MACNA do you buy corals or just look around at everything? I'd want to take home some animals : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've picked up many corals from MACNA, have either drove it back, shipped coral back in cooler that I check in with heat packs, and I've wrapped SPS in wet paper towel and carried on plane. Only lost one coral (Australian torch colony) which got the brown slime and a 8 head colony died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke33 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Then its pretty safe to say its going to slow down the release I hope they can add the phosphate test on there. If they do it will be an unreal product as long as it works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin1300 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 So did you get a chance to check it out?! I about had a knee jerk trip and was looking into flights Wednesday night...Little bummed I did not go:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
